Future income assumes the dividend and share price grow at the rates above, every year; actual dividends can be cut or raised. Past results use real daily closing prices and every cash dividend paid (adjusted for stock splits), with dividends reinvested at the closing price on the pay date. Taxes and trading costs are not included.
